Are you looking for a break-out speaker for your next event?
My goal is to give an excellent presentation where the audience walks away with information that empowers them to take action. All sessions are made highly interactive and engaging with authentic stories. The audience won’t feel talked to; they will feel a part of it! Contact me to discuss more how we can select the best topic for your event.

Lisa Luken & Lisa Bianco received a perfect score from the 2019 Association of Personal Photo Organizers national conference evaluations for their business foundations two-day intensive workshop, “Clarity, Confidence & Intention for a Successful Photo Organizing Business.” We are thrilled to welcome them back to lead another business foundation intensive for our 2020 national conference.
